Reported on Aug 07, 2001
| DIRVE UNIT MADE A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND TWICE WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICAL JERKED BADLY TWICE, SO HARD I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT IN THE REAR END. IF OTHER CARS WERE FOLLOWING BEHIND THEY COULD HAVE HIT THE CAR BECAUSE THIE JERKING WAS SO VIOLENT THE CAR HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED AND THEN ACCELERATED SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHT WARNING. AFTER INITIAL INCIDENT, METAL GRINDING AND KNOCKING NOISES FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE HEARD. THIS METAL KNOCKING SOUND IS NOT A CONSTANT NOISE. DEALER REPAIR IS WRIGHT PONTIAC IN WEXFORD, PA. AFTER ONE WEEK OF HAVING STILL NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. WILL TEAR DOWN THE POWER TRAIN TODAY TO IDENTIFY EXACT CAUSE. *AK | |
